[b]Pairings:[/b] Male & Female [b](I want to try to play the male character in this at least one)[/b]
[b]Contact:[/b] PM me if interested and questions you may have. This is not a 18 mature roleplay where erotic mature 18 is a theme. This a political intrigue roleplay where action, mystery, danger and romance are the themes. Slave trade as a focus is just one of the many plot tools involved in the story. I do not condone it.

[b]Political situation: [/b] Zairen's are in a permanent conflict in between a internal power struggle and a near-war state with their enemy, the Yadian's, who rule an ever expanding empire called the Yadia Accord. Yadian's have military that rivals Zaire. Zairen's at the present are in a Stronger military state due to its large slave trade and interstellar network, which gives them an important advantage and is the only obstacle that prevents the Yadian's from attempting to conquering Zaire. The other player on the interstellar stage are the World's Electorate, the smallest of the three political bodies. They are an parliament base government where they explore within the reaches of space bringing inhabited worlds that have not been conquered under their protection. 

[h2][u][b]Monarchy/Law[/b][/u][/h2]
[b]Monarchy[/b]: The Zaire empire has a absolute Monarchy with highborn Zairen's known as Sodalite who hold secondary power in Assembly within the empire. However that is only on the surface. Due to the coup twenty years prior the Royal family was assassinated and the crown then held in trust with the Sodalite in control. A status quo the highborn had a preference to maintain even though it diminished the empires strategic military power. The monarchy or the hereditary royal family are also the only power in the empire that can activity power and maintain the Interstellar network. The royal family in Zaire are the only known naturally born psion. When all the royal family was believed to be dead the network went into statis. Unfortunately for the highborn a survivor of the royal family has been found, maneuvering the Sodalite's power to more indirect methods. 

[b]Sodalite:[/b] Have secondary power in the Empire. Different dynasties in general are extremely wealthy and own entire worlds. Sodalite are known to be cruel and uncompromising class. In some cases they treat their slaves well. While in some societal families they are not. Sodalite's are very well versed in politics and due to scientific engineering are vastly intelligent as well are able to live decades longer than the average Yadian. 

[b]Ametrine:[/b] Ametrine's are middle class citizens of Zaire they work under the highborn manage the Sodalite's commerce and production on their respective territories. 

[b]Hiddenite:[/b] Hiddenite's are the slave trade of Zaire. They are owned and use as active military and commerce in the economy. They do not have a choice but to serve their master under Zaire law. A Hiddenite is either born into servitude to forced under conquest of their home planet.  

[b]Law:[/b] In Zaire Empire slavery is considered legal and Sodalites are allowed to decide about life and death of their slaves. However the crown can override any decision but is consider beneath the Monarchy to do. Unless it has benefit. At the present the only chance for a slave to live in freedom is to escape and seek asylum in the World's Electorate.

[b]IICN[/b]: IICN is a Instantaneous interstellar communication network that allows information to be transferred via psionic energy. It is the fastest known communication network in the galaxy. The royal family was the only known psions in the galaxy. A power both the Yadia Accord and World Electorate would love to get their hands on. 

[b]Psions[/b]: Psion is a term describing people with telepathic and in some cases empathic abilities. Psions can detect emotions, and even individual thoughts, depending on the strength of the psion and the proximity of those around them. They are also susceptible to the emotional suffering of people who are near them, and can suffer emotional scars from other psions who project their pain naturally. To survive the ongoing emotional attacks, psions are trained to put up  mental barriers from a young age. Protecting themselves from unwelcomed feelings and thoughts and to prevent projecting themselves onto others.There are several upon hundred of genes that result in psionic abilities. The more such genes a psion possesses, the stronger psionic abilities he/she manifests. However this is not always the case

[b] Bio-enhancements[/b]: In Zaire Empire, many people, most often in the military or administration, carry bio-implants. Most common are nodes in brain which are used mainly as extended memory or translator to store useful data. Many people have also psiphon sockets in their spine, wrists and ankles, that enable them to lock into the web. People who suffer severe injuries and lose their limbs or eyes can get prosthetic ones. Soldiers in the military are also genetically enhanced with greater constitution and strength for combat. 

[b]Travel:[/b] Interstellar travel, Zairen's often make use of QTL, which is a form of quantum-shielding that freezes the quantum state of all particles on a spacecraft.

Ships in both the Zaire Empire and Yadia Accord the are equipped with devices, controlled by AIs that shift a ship into "QTL" to avoid damage to the ship from weapons fire or from high-G maneuvers. The quantum-shielding prevents change in the quantum state of any particle, temporarily rendering the ship invulnerable. While in QTL, the quantum state of all the occupants of the ship also freezes causing the crew to experiences the quantum-shielding as a disjointed segment of time.

Each weapon strike against a ship in quantum-shielding weakens its QTL field. A number of weapon hits (typically suggesting two to four well placed shots) that will collapse a QTL field and re-animate the crew in the midst of a massive explosion. A collapse of a QTL field results in a rupture of the bottles holding the antimatter fuel used to power the ship, resulting in matter-antimatter explosions.
